Testimonials
‘Tariq is a vital part of our team helping to de-risk our development sites with highly informed legal counsel to ensure our sites and our deals are on solid footings. He has also demonstrated an impressive capacity to think laterally and lucidly to structure our deals in the most effective way for the mutual benefit of landowners and ourselves.’
Guy Brown
Blue Infinity Property Group
‘As a portfolio landlord and property trader, I am rarely not in conveyancing of some sorts. There are some professions which make my business life pleasurable or hellish, depending on the service levels and quality of knowledge. Mortgage brokers and solicitors are amongst the key ones for me. I can count on more than one hand the number of solicitors I have used in the past five years and will not use again. It is, therefore, with great pleasure and relief that I now use Tariq. Tariq's personal interest broadens beyond his profession into accountancy and tax, commercial property investment and entrepreneurial business expansion. They say that the difference between a good and bad solicitor is their workload. With Tariq, I have experienced good systemic practice, utilising the team to deliver a quality system that works as well when Tariq is holidaying with family as when he is at his desk.’
Rupert Chapman

‘I have used Tariq and his legal services and find him to be forward thinking as well as approachable with a can-do attitude, always a quality of importance especially within the legal sector!’

‘Tariq has now worked for me on three different projects (2 purchases and 1 sale). I am constantly impressed by his attention to detail, loyalty, sound advice and general good humour and likeability. If you are looking for a trustworthy solicitor, I can not recommend Tariq highly enough and I will certainly use him again.’
